  Can LNG save China from winter gas shortage?

  China's introduction of the '2+26' cities policy earlier this year calls for restricted use of coal for both residential heating and industrial purposes.

Facing the most severe shortages is northern China, particularly Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (abbreviated as BTH), where demand is highly seasonal. This region will make up half or 10 bcm of the incremental winter gas demand in 2017.
